Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has hit back at Britain’s decision to ban imports and exports involving illegal Israeli settlements, calling on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to recognize Argentina’s sovereignty over the Falkland Islands and impose sanctions on the UK. He accused Britain of going beyond territorial control by conducting oil drilling in the Falkland Islands and benefiting financially from the disputed territory. Ben-Gvir called on Netanyahu to formally recognize Argentine sovereignty over the islands and impose sanctions on Britain until what he described as the British occupation comes to an end.
The comments came after Britain announced measures targeting trade and economic activity linked to Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, a policy London has linked to its obligations under international law. Ben-Gvir’s response appeared to draw a direct parallel between Britain’s position on Israeli settlements and Argentina’s longstanding claim to the Falkland Islands, known in Argentina as the Malvinas.
